What a week for movies!
The new Disney movie Pete’s Dragon is opening nationwide this weekend. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford and newcomer Oakes Fegley as Pete, it offers a cinematic experience for all ages. Meryl Streep stars in Florence Foster Jenkins, based on the true story of Florence Jenkins, a tone-deaf woman with no musicality who ended up singing at Carnegie Hall.
World War II drama Anthropoid is based on the true story of the assassination of a top Nazi official. Comedy more your thing? Sausage Party is finally here! The raunchy R-rated animated feature is getting glorious reviews for crude humor and witty social commentary.
